Well, sort of. The specification certainly has to be complete -- you cannot
assume that missing bits will be inferred from another specification. However,
you certainly can refer to the other specification rather than repeating the
same words in both.
Do note that normative references create a dependency as far as the standards
process is concerned -- the specification referred to must be at the same
or higher standards level as the one that refers to it.
